Last month at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire in Las Vegas, we caught wind of some major enhancements making its way to Free Realms. Today, we got some additional information, lots of new screenshots and even a confirmation that some of these enhancements are coming next week! Of course I'm talking about the highly anticipated update to Kart Racing and the Demolition Derby.

Starting next week players will finally be able to pursue an actual career in both Kart Racing and Demolition Derby with the ability to reach level 20 and acquire some cool new gear and abilities along the way. What's even more exciting is that the Free Realms team is adding two new race tracks: Sandstorm Speedway and Thunder Falls Speedway. Additionally, players will gain access to garages so that you can beef up your Kart with new parts and accessories.

Make sure to check out our new screenshots and stay tuned for an interview with Free Realms Creative Director, Laralyn McWilliams later this week.
